STATEMENT OF LIMITATION
The current market situation of the public transport market is characterized by a large
number of on-street competing operators for jeepneys, buses, Asian Utility Vehicles (AUVs) or
tricycles. In Metro Manila alone, over 43,000 jeepney franchises and over 830 bus franchises
have been issued for more than 900 routes, making the public transport market practically
impossible to regulate for the government. This has led to an inefficient supply of low-quality
public transport service and dangerous and congested traffic situations.
The lack of a comprehensive policy framework, inefficient institutions and planning procedures,
lack of enforcement and of financial incentives for the operators has led to:
• A fragmented jeepney industry with inefficient vehicl e fleet and operational set-up.
• Undeveloped bus market consisting of aged, second-hand coach buses that do not
meet the demand, in particular urban mass-transit needs.
• Negative externalities: high CO2 emissions, severe air pollution, road safety issues,
time loss, etc.
The lack of attractive public transport stimulates the use of cars and motorcycles,
exacerbating the already extreme congestion experienced in the larger cities in the Philippines,
which in turn leads to economic and environmental costs. If the quality of the public transport
system is not be improved significantly, its recent share in the modal split will further decline, as
GDP and car ownership grow. This would result in an increase of GHG emissions by the
transport sector.
On the path towards decarbonizing public transport, there are two recognized starting points:
Some rather advanced emerging economies have already undertaken serious efforts to formalize
(parts of) their public transport and can start moving on towards electrification.
The majority of developing countries however, including the Philippines, currently still rely on
semi-informal and fragmented minibus-based low-quality public transport systems. This by far
bigger group of countries is responsible for the majority of GHG emissions from public
transport.
CONCLUSION
Modern civilization would not be possible without extensive, reliable transportation systems.
Technology is poised to transform transportation and impact society and the environment in
ways we cannot fully predict but must be prepared to manage. In addition to coping with a
technological revolution, we also face hard questions about how to reduce transportation’s
greenhouse gas emissions; make it more resilient, efficient, safe, and equitable; and pay the
staggering costs of doing so.
Electric transportation will be a big effect in our community, one of the who blocks of promoting
electro transportation the budget, budget that can’t be afford to produce and be sustain of having
electric vehicle, to have a charging station in our community. In, short Philippines is not ready
for this kind of project because of having lack of budget and support of government to this
project. It wish that in the next few years, this project will grow up in order to save the planet
earth from greenhouse effect that affect the planet to have global warming. The pollution that
affect the planet to be in danger because of our bad doing things.
Last or in overall, what it thinks are the most important transportation questions to address in the
next few years. It hopes this document will help spur and inform an urgently needed national
debate about the future of transportation and help researchers frame and inform choices about the
most promising paths forward. And creating the better future for our beloved country.
